Initially banned in the UK, this provocative play portrays three amoral, glib and stylish characters and their hopelessly inescapable, if also unconventional, emotional entanglement. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom 1930s bohemian Paris to the dizzying heights of Manhattan society, a tempestuous love triangle unravels between a vivacious interior designer, Gilda, playwright Leo and artist Otto - three people unashamedly and passionately in love with each other. They are trapped in what Coward called 'a three-sided erotic hodge podge.' \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith Coward's trademark piquant style, this lively, funny but also atypical play looks at dazzling, egotistical creatures and their self-destructive dependence on each other. Exploring themes of bisexuality, celebrity, success and self-obsession, \u003ci\u003eDesign for Living\u003c\/i\u003e is a stylish and scandalous comedy.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47133497983216,"sku":"9781408191491","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781408191491_p0.jpg?v=1763718816","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781408191491","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
